Sword Spiders are giant spiders dwelling in the southern continent home to the elves. They are cousins of the Giant Spiders and Jungle Spiders of the north.

Overview

Fierce spiders with blade-like legs as sharp as finely forged swords.

Just like other spiders, Sword Spiders are fast, numerous, resistant to magic and not quite durable. They can be killed easily with a combination of Barracks and Artillery, but avoid relying too much on Mages - the spiders will mostly shrug them off. Contrary to their in-game description, their damage is actually rather low so barracks soldiers and Reinforcements can stall them for a long time.

Strategy

Arcane Archers are a good start to place in front of the player defenses, hence their attack rate are sufficient to kill Sword Spiders before they ran past through the stage.
